Page 850 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

"Mr. Gu... If I were you, I’d be more concerned about whether there’s surveillance here or not... Um, if there is surveillance, Gu Mochen can watch however he pleases if he wants to."

There was a pause, and sure enough, Jian Ran saw a slight change in Gu Wei’s expression, as the corners of her mouth continued to turn up.

"So, here comes the problem. If you keep on hissing and scratching in front of me, I might just whine to Gu Mochen and have him sort you out. You see, Gu Mochen dotes on me terribly. Can’t help it."

Gu Wei: "..."

Upon hearing Jian Ran’s words, Gu Wei felt as if he was boiling with blood, almost to the point of spitting out a mouthful of it.

"Um... to put it plainly, I, Jian Ran, am not someone to be trifled with. If you keep barking orders at me, I will tell my husband, and he’ll take care of you... Got it?"

After finishing her words, Jian Ran mimicked Gu Mochen’s cold, oppressive demeanor, successfully infuriating Gu Wei to the point of rage, yet he could only suppress it.

Jian Ran was satisfied, her mission accomplished.

This was the effect she wanted...

"Mr. Gu... I’ll be leaving now. Anger is harmful to the health, after all. You’re getting on in years and might not handle it, so you should really keep your temper in check."

After speaking, Jian Ran smiled sweetly, a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes, then turned and left, proud as a peacock, paying no heed to the fuming man beside her.

Heh, if Gu Wei wants to play games with her, she wouldn’t mind playing along...

...

After returning to the design department, Jian Ran saw Gu Wei stomp his foot in anger, helpless, and then leave in a huff; a meaningful glint crossed her beautiful eyes.

Nevertheless... the gossip-loving colleagues still crowded around her, asking curiously.

"Manager Jian...what’s your relationship with old Mr. Gu? Why would he seek you out?"

"Yeah, yeah, it’s been a while since we’ve seen old Mr. Gu in the Gu Family company, is it because something happened to Mrs. Gu?"

"Giggle, what a huge green hat he’s wearing. This time, old Mr. Gu has really lost face."

Jian Ran: "..."

Seeing her colleagues revel in the excitement, her slender eyes narrowed slightly; she chose to skirt around the main issue.

"Just a simple inquiry about Mrs. Gu... personal matters, nothing serious, don’t speculate wildly."

"Um, manager, is Mrs. Gu showing her pregnancy now?... It’s been rumored for a long time that she’s pregnant."

Jian Ran: "..."

This was a problem.

Jian Ran’s eyes darkened as she looked down at her own abdomen.

She and Gu Mochen... had not been lacking in... intimacy.

However, it seemed there was no movement in her belly.

Jian Ran’s cheeks turned slightly red, then she awkwardly moved her gaze away from her flat stomach, pursing her lips.

"Um, it’s working hours, don’t talk about private matters that aren’t related to work."

In a stern face, Jian Ran looked quite serious, and the other female colleagues in the design department, who had been eager to gossip, withdrew at her solemn demeanor.

"Yes... manager."

"Um..."

...

Jian Ran quickly dealt with the backlog of designs in the design department, allocated the work, and then rushed to the CEO’s office.

Worried that the little girl might have no one to care for her after waking up from her nap, Jian Ran was pleasantly surprised to see Gu Mochen in the resting room, cajoling the little girl he held in his arms.

"Little Tang Bao, be good... Wake up... Whatever you want to eat or play with, daddy will spend the afternoon with you."
